cases furnish a striking illustration of the
widely parting lines of travel which dlverge
from one point.
Elijah Jordon, the black terror, who
raised pandemonium at the Waycross depot
at Jacksonville last Friday is suffering
great deal Of pain from the wound III his
back. 1t will be remembered that he was
found nearly paralyzed from the effect of
wound in the back, which he said was from
a bullet received in tho melee. The by
ISLANDERS, however, say that no shots were
fired except those fired by himself When
brought before the Mayor be was asked for
and delivered to the county officers, and
was committed to await the action of the
grand jury under a charge of assault with
intent to commit murder in default of 5000
bonds. He complains of intense pain in his
hips, and, as the wound is two inches above,
it is evident that the bullet is dropping
down.

At Orleans during a thunder storm on
July ; the lightning struck several trees
near j. b. Young's goat pens and killed four
OF his fine Angora goats. The herd was
scattered or the loss would have been greater.
Mr.. Young brought herd of 800 Angora
goats from Texas to Orleans last March.
The packing closely together on the cars
and improper feeding and attention caused
loss of about 100 head by the time they
reached Gainesville, where they were taken
off the cars. They have been doing well
since they arrived. The grazing on the high
pine lands seems to suit them. These goats
produce white feecy wool ten or twelve
inches long, which sells at about 75c. per
pound in the market. The points in their
favor are that they will not jump fences,
and are free from the offensive odor Of the
ordinary goat. They can live where the
Florida COW would starye, as they feed on
bushes, weeds and any kind of short grass.
They are not valuable for their milk.
Capt Yates, who has for some time been
engaged in the Menhaden fisheries North,
has leased Calypso Island, in the st. Johns,
for a term of years, and is now in New
York purchasing the machinery necessary
to begin fertilizing factory, in which he,
Mr. Ferrar and others will be interested.
They will begin on a small scale and enlarge
as the success of the enterprise may justify.
Even from the first they can employ
about fifty mon to catch fish, out of
which they will manufacture the fertil-
iZer. The waters thereabOut abound in shad
and other fish known as the fowl and bOny
fishes. From these the oil will be expressed
by machinery, the remains, after being
treated to the phosphates will be manufac
tured into fertilizers of very great value.
Mr. Ferrar thinks his company, though they
will start on a small SCALE will be able by
next year to establish double plant. They
are now making arrangements to get the
| phosphateS from Charleston. The manu-
facture of these fish fertilizers has been at
tempted recently on the Indian river. but
was not successful, owing to inadequate
shipping facilities.
| The terminus of the Blue Spring, Orange
| City and Atlantic road is in the middle of a
large grant that is one mile square and is
owned by n Mr.. Andrews, of Baltimore
| The railroad will make out to get right of
way and that is about all. Not another
| foot can they or any one else purchase
| That being the case several parties have put
up buildings on the railroads right of way
for restaurant, store and post office. The
| receiver of the road, Dexter Hunter, was
over the other day and ordered all the
buildings taken off In the first
place the road has no authority to
| allow any one to build on the
right of way, as the company have not as
yet got their deed from Mr.. Andrews Be
sides Mr.. Andrews is opposed to buildings
being put up in front of his lots that front
ON either side of the road But if he don't
intend to put his lots on the market during
the existence of the American republic why
| should he care, if the right of way through
! his land blossoms out into a town As it
| stands now, there can be no buildings put up
within about half mile from the depot.
! The railroad will in all probability bridge
! the river and make their terminus on the sea
| beach and locate their turn tables, shops.
! etc, over there where they can get what
| land they want. There is land enough and
| to spare over there for n town, and no
doubt when the road is in operation
up to that point town will
| spring up, for it is the best of all the places
on the east coast where a summer resort
should be located. 1t is near the inlet
| where the beach is several hundred feet
broad. If the railroad is extended to the
beach the company intends to put up big
hotel. Alfred Howard, of Glencoe, sur
veyor, measured the distance from the rail
road dock to the other side of the river for
the railroad company. The bridge will be
1000 feet long
Col. John Webb, the Harbor Master of
Pensacola, is in receipt of "A letter from
Capt. Farady of the bark Longfellow, dat
ed New York, July 1, from which "A report
